Is flonase working even if i must blow my nose after taking it?

Most likely: Intransal steroids such as Flonase are highly lipid soluble and have good tissue binding. That means the drug is delivered to the target cells quickly and efficiently. It is always a good idea to blow your nose before you administer the drug to maximize contact between the medication and the nose. Take your medication on a regular basis, even if you feel well. Flonase works best over time.

Probably: It penetrates deep into the nose and the sinuses and you will not completely eliminate it if you blow your nose afterwards but why not hold off if you can?
